PRE ORDER Clock In: https://emilydurham.org/clock-in

If you feel behind, confused, or low-key panicked because you still don’t know what you want to do with your life — this episode is for you.

In today’s job market, the pressure to have a “dream career” figured out is unrealistic, outdated, and honestly… unhelpful. In this episode, I’m breaking down why not knowing your end goal isn’t the problem — and what you should be focusing on instead.

We’ll walk through a practical, no-BS career mapping framework that helps you move forward without needing a 10-year plan, a passion epiphany, or a quarter-life crisis meltdown.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why “finding your passion” is terrible career advice
• How to build career momentum even when you feel lost
• The difference between a career goal and a career direction
• How to make smart next moves without locking yourself into the wrong path
• What to focus on when you don’t know your long-term plan — but still want to make more money, gain confidence, and stop feeling stuck

This episode is your permission slip to stop spiraling, stop comparing, and start making strategic moves that actually compound over time.

You don’t need to know what you want to do with your life, you just need a map.
